the rest of Timmy’s birthday vegetable
I lumped the party and the portraits and the after part all together. Figuring my blog readers might be getting a little tired of personal/Timmy posts. Can’t be helped though so just skip it if you’re done reading and seeing pictures of him. But, I don’t really see how that could be possible…
A few birthday portraits. Timmy decided to wear a tie again for his birthday party. It didn’t last too long, but it sure was cute! And I swear, the tie is all his idea. He first told me he wanted to wear his Giants jersey, but as I was pulling it down he told me “nope. forget it. I want to wear a tie!” And really, who am I to say no?
The cupcakes were made by Emily Arnone Cakes and were fantastic as always. And oh so cute. With oreos, of course.
Some snapshots from the party:
The pinata. It was a Cubs one (that’s what he chose when they didn’t have any mets ones).
And some cake at home to complete the birthday vegetable. It was superbowl sunday after all, hence the football cake.
Happy Birthday again, my 5 year old boy. I love you!

the simm family
I’m sure you’ll remember these lovelies from their shoot back in the fall. I was so happy when mom called me for another shoot.
The whole family is supremely photogenic, even the dog. Seriously.
Love the inbetween moments of the family portrait. Sometimes even more than the portrait itself.
They are expecting their 4th baby in the spring (I know, mom looks ridiculously amazing. So unfair!) and everyone’s pretty excited about it. The baby’s sex is going to be a surprise. And I get to photograph him or her when he or she makes their appearance. Yay!)
And this picture…totally love. Love the light, the graininess, the husband’s reflection in the mirror. All of it.
Something special about kids in their element. It really brings out their inner smiles and shows their personalities so much.
Thanks so much for a fun morning! Can’t wait for our next shoot!!

happy valentines day!
Timmy’s the only boy left in the house to hand out Valentines at school (sad, really). So here’s what we made for his friends this year.
The big boys came home with a few minimal valentines from school, but that was it.
And a few outtakes from our 5 minute shoot.
I have a few thousand blog posts that I’m behind on. Planning on getting some pictures edited before leaving for Disney so I’ll have some stuff to post when we’re away.
Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day! And some extra special Valentines love to my wonderful, patient husband! Love you!!

16. version 1
Put this mosaic together and figured it was perfect for a little smattering of pictures from our Dec/Jan trip to Florida. There are more than what can fit in 16, so there will be another few mosaics coming up.
All of the pictures were taken with the point n shoot and taken by either Timmy, Jack, Patrick or John. I think I took like one.
1. Timmy in the rental car with his Leapster.
2. Blue sky
3. boys at beach in Sanibel
4. all of us at Dolphins game
5. MetLife blimp over the apartment
6. helicopters in parking lot of LandShark Stadium
7. a seat in LandShark Stadium
8. a ‘spider’ at dinner (the first one Timmy freaked out over and smashed and stomped on like it was real)
9. LandShark Stadium
10. big boys on way to beach in Sanibel
11. Patrick at golf range (good form, no?)
12. more football (it was my, timmy’s and the boy’s first NFL game ever. And we only made it thru the first half because everyone was HOT and tired and whiney).
13. Jack’s self portrait, complete with crazy eyes
14. a little ocean dip
15. big boys and John & Hakka went to Gulfstream for a few races
16. palm tree at Ft. Myers hotel courtyard. It was about 38 degrees that night.
